Chapter 14 A cute sheep, a cute sister, can you eat cute people?

Sleeping on an island far from the mainland where the atmosphere around him was full of excitement, the following day, Ran woke up without setting an alarm. The boy intended to breathe in fresh air by the sea. With hooded eyes, he went to wake up his Phi.

“Wake up.”

Ran kissed his cheek softly and called his lover. The older man made an annoying sound in his throat and pulled the blanket over his face as if he didn’t want to get up, so the younger guy kissed him on the lips.

“P'Phat!”

“Yeah?”

“It’s the morning” The younger guy whined.

“Yes,” He answered briefly and pretended to continue to sleep, but Ran pulled the blanket over, jumped to sit astride his body, grabbed both arms, and pulled.

“Get up,” Ran said, pulling the older person out of the bed. So, the older man persisted and refused to follow until the younger guy got exhausted but did not give up.

Ran called out again while poking his fingers into the face, saying “Morning and get up.”

Phat grabbed the little hand and looked at him with cunning eyes. “Phi ‘got up’ a long time ago.” Giving his lover a wolfish grin. Ran pouted his lips and quickly moved to sit next to him.

“Enough. This morning the weather is good. Ran would rather go out and feel the breeze” When he finished speaking, the young man puffed his cheeks up like a pufferfish. So, he had to hurry up as his P’s giant king cobra started to bend over, wanting to come out to eat something.

“No, good man.” He pushed himself into a semi-sitting and semi-lying position with his elbows and pokes his lover’s cheek. “Making cheeks puffed like this will make you look like a goldfish” Phat teased. Goldfish was in the basin in front of the condo that his lover liked to visit regularly.

“Pretty good”

Ran made a loud noise, making the older man want to catch him and sink his teeth into the soft flesh. But because Ran knew that if he provoked him more, the older man might get more touchy

“Ran is much cuter.” White cheeks instantly transformed to pink. The young man lowered his head shyly.

“Phi, what did you say? Ran is shy.” Phat smiled at that cute expression before shaking off the blanket and went to the bathroom to wash his face. Finished, he went outside the room, his bare feet tread on the wet and icy sand of the night before. Upon reaching the beach, Ran hurriedly joyfully spread his arms and inhaled the air until it filled his lungs

“It’s so refreshing,” said the young man before turning around to look at the elder who was doing the same pose and had a look like himself. “The weather is great.”

Phat nodded his head in response and turned his gaze around. It was still very early in the morning, but because of the beauty of the sea and the fresh air that was so rare in the capital, it pulled many tourists spending overnight to stand in the wind, just like them. The youth swept around to absorb the beauty of nature until he moved to Ran. He immediately stopped his eyes.

Until now, there was still no sun. Ran’s clean face was pale pink from the impact of the sea vapor. His big eyes flashed with excitement. As bright as the sunlight reflected on the top of the waves, the thin brown hair was blown in the wind. It was beautiful more than anything in the world.

“The view is so beautiful, isn’t it?” Ran, who did not realize that the elder was staring at him, gently nodded his head.

“Yes, very beautiful and pure” The young man turned to look at him. When he saw that the other person was looking, he smiled.

“Ran loves this place very much. If you have time, can you bring me again?”

“Alright.” Phat agreed which made the younger guy smile.

“Promise?”

The older man bowed down and kissed him on the lips before whispering back. “I promise you”

“Yay! Thank you! I love you the most”

The older man hugged his lover and lowered his head to the younger man’s neck smelling him. The lingering emotions that woke up began to erupt again. The hand that hugged his body softly roamed lower. Realizing what was happening, Ran pushed himself out of his lover’s arms.

“Ran is hungry. Let’s go find something to eat.” Ran said and walked back to the room.

“Are you running away?” Phat asked with a soft voice but was crushed.

The little boy lowered his mouth before replying. “Well, you’re going to laugh at me again.”

The older man raised his eyebrows at his lover with suspicion.

“Usually, you will indulge me. Why not this time?” Ran was silent, thinking how to say his thoughts without making the older man feel hurt. But in the end, he said honestly:

“Ran just didn’t want to stay in the room.” He raised his head to look at the older man. “We don’t get to travel like this very often. Ran wants to walk around with Phi and enjoy the place as much as we can”

“I saw Ran taking a lot of pictures”

“Photos are just an impression of what you see. We can look at it many times, but … “Ran held his lover’s hand, intertwined their fingers, and faced the sea. They stood there and watched the waves roll and touched the sand for a moment. “We will not hear the sound of the rolling waves. Not feeling the cold of the wind and the most important thing...” the young man tightened his fingers and squeezed his hand “The natural beauty makes Ran feel the emotion and feel the warmth from Phi’s hand, listening to the words of love. It was our good memory”

The older man looked at Ran’s happy face. It’s beautiful. So full of life that he wanted to pick up his phone and save it. Which made him think again, just as what Ran said photos could keep the memory for later. But it could not create this feeling of happiness, satisfaction, and love.

“I’m sorry.” The older man said sadly. Ran shook his head and sent him a cute smile.

“No need to apologize. Ran understood the feelings of P'Phat” Ran said as he pulled up his hand and kissed his Phi’s hand. “If Phi takes Ran to travel around like last night, Ran will do everything you ask “

That sentence was like holding fresh meat in front of a wolf’s cage.

“Promise?”

He gobbled and spoke. Ran then stepped up and kissed his cheek and whispered in his ear. “Yes”

With a playful agenda in mind, he smiled widely and approached his Phi as if to kiss him on the lips but landed on his cheeks instead.

The older man pulled his lover back to their room and said, “We will check out after breakfast and catch up on the first boat “

“Are we going back?” Ran asked because he still wanted to stay on the island a bit longer.

“We still have many places to visit.” Phat looked at the clock on the wall. “The boat will dock anytime soon. Let’s hurry and go."

The older man took his lover to the front desk and checked out. The first boat arrived at the pier early so they didn’t have time for breakfast. Accidentally, there was a crunchy potato chip that they bought yesterday in the bag, so they had it instead. The beautiful scenery of the sea in the morning could make anyone forget their hunger a bit, but it didn’t help much. When they docked at the next pier, they stopped for a bowl of boiled rice with shrimp.

Phat drove to take him to the Sanctuary of Truth as their first stop. The beauty of the large castle built from wood and intricate carvings, created a lot of excitement for Ran knowing that this place had elephants serving tourists. Although riding an elephant was not as comfortable as he thought, the excitement of riding it for the first time made Ran very joyous and he captured a photo of himself and his Phi. After walking around, the boy took his phone and sent photos to Lalil which made the older man chuckle.

This continuous teasing made Lalin explode.

The young man thought humorously. Phat waited until the young man finished sending the pictures, then asked “Are we going yet?”

In fact, this place had an ancient Ferris wheel for the view too. Ran looked at the long queue of people, and then made a face. Honestly, he wanted to ride this too but looking at the queue, it might take a while to get their turn.

“Where are we going next?” The younger man asked intently and thought that if the next place wasn’t interesting, he would wait in line here. But when he heard the answer of the elder, Ran quickly walked to the car.

“Sheep Farm”

It took a while for both of them to reach their destination. The older man purchased a combined admission ticket to walk around. The first thing they saw was a large statue of sheep that would make anyone jump in excitement, Ran pointing it out to the elder.

“P'Phat, see? A big sheep!”

The older man smiled and captured the image of his lover standing there with a striking smile. After that, they continued to walk together and later found a kiosk that sold grass. They bought two bundles. Of course, Ran would only feed this delicious dish to the sheep. Seeing the grass, all the sheep ran around and vied with each other and Ran was standing in the midst of all these.

“Oh, keep calm. You don't need to compete. You can eat them all.” The young man spoke in a clear voice as he divided the grass for every sheep that followed.

Even though Phat was worried, he couldn’t help but smile when he saw his lover being surrounded by a herd of sheep. Just as cute as the famous painter’s little girl painting on a farm. It looked so bright and lively that he could not help but take photos until the camera lens focused on Ran’s face. The older man felt like the whole world stopped at that moment.

His white face was tinged with pink, his beautiful eyes filled with a spark of joy. The beautiful petals spread out with a smile that makes his heart melt. The pure laughter when heard, felt like the whole world suddenly brightened.  As beautiful as a little goddess among all fairytale creatures.

Phat's heart was beating so fast that it felt like it would burst out of his chest. He stood there in trance and looked at this lover until he heard someone calling.

“P'Phat”

The older man was startled. Looking down, he saw Ran's big eyes staring at him with suspicion.

“Oh, have you finished feeding?”

“Uh,” Ran nodded while looking at the elder with concern. “P'Phat, I’ve been calling you for a while but you didn’t seem to hear me. What’s the matter? Are you tired? Want to sit and rest first?”

Ran pulled his arm to take him to the farm restaurant. The older man did not want him to be worried, therefore, he argued with him to divert the issue.

“No, I'm just a little daze”

Those words made the listener even more anxious. Ran immediately extended his hand to his Phi’s forehead.

“Let’s get you a fever medicine”

“Huh, no need. It’s okay,” Phat refused, smiling before lowering his head and whispering in his lover’s ear. “I was just lost in thoughts of Ran. Made me dizzy, which made me want to take you to bed."

Ran blushed and gape in awe, and hit his Phi’s shoulder softly.

“P’Phat is filthy!” The young man said and walked away. Phat followed along and playfully pointed out cute animals like ponies, Alpaca, or the dwarf pig that made Ran scream and want to go and play and enjoy the characters from fairy tales in the fairy tale town. While some people complained that they were not as cute as the cartoons, but couldn’t stop taking pictures. The couple spent the afternoon on the sheep farm and ate lunch at the steakhouse on the farm. While resting, after eating, Phat asked, “Where should we go next?”

Ran looked at his face for a moment, then answered “Let’s go back first. P’Phat is already tired.”

“Not really. We can go visit few more places after we rest a little”

“But you have to drive as well. It's enough for today. Let’s go back to the hotel, sleep comfortably, and then tomorrow we will think about where to go.”

In the end, Ran whined, or the elder would not be willing to go back.

“It’s up to Ran,” Phat said, smiling as he looked at the youngster’s smartphone lying on the table. “Have you sent photos taken with the sheep to provocate Lali ?”

“Done.  P’Lalil complained that Ginger was very jealous and said that next time they would come with us too.” Ran said in a clear voice, which the older man could have guessed that his lover would want the other person to talk about it.

“No way.” That angered voice made Ran raise his eyebrows, turning to look in wonder. Because as long as they had been together, he noticed that both his Phis and Lalin respected each other. It could be said that they were quite close to a certain extent.

“Why is that?”

“Chaotic”

The man answered briefly, but Ran shook his head.

“No, because I saw Lalin saying that she would bring her lover.”

“Huh.” The man was surprised by this new information. They have known for many years, Lalin had never spoken about his lover once. Smartphones, notebooks were full of pictures of dogs or cats. Never called. Never chatted with anyone. But above all else why did she talk about this to Ran?

He wanted to know but was afraid because when he finished speaking, his lover switched to other things. Phat had a habit of not liking to interfere with anyone’s personal matters. The man had lost interest. Upon returning to the hotel, he and Ran took a shower and changed clothes. Jumped into bed and talked happily. Exhausted from traveling all day long, both of them fell asleep. Waking up again, the sun had long gone down. Fatigue caused the man to opt for room service. That night, the two of them had a light dinner together, they were full, then they surfed on the tablet for a place to visit. Upon agreement, Ran took the remote and turned on the TV. Sitting and watching, he felt something on his shoulder. When he saw that it was a hand of Phat, he asked.

“What are you doing?”

“Play crabs and climb (thai idioms)” The man replied with a sly smile.

“Ran is tired today.”

“But you promised that you will let me do anything.”

Phat hurriedly pulled Ran and hugged his waist loosely.

“Ran wanted to fulfill his promise, but really can’t today.” The boy used a pleading voice and looked at the elder with clear and pure eyes, just like a kitten. “Can you leave it for our last night?”

The man sighed deeply. He had needs, but he did not want to force his lover. He sighed and nodded in agreement

“Okay.”

Ran kissed his cheek and said thank you and then turned to the movies. Phat looked at his tight round buttocks before moving his eyes to the glass-walled bathroom and sighed again. There was no hope. The only way to alleviate his needs was to take his giant king out to the balcony to catch a cool breeze.

“I’ll go out and see the view from the balcony,” The man said before opening the glass door. The little boy quickly got up to follow.

“Ran wants to see it too” 

“No!” Phat hurriedly stopped him when he saw the young boy following him, embarrassed by his rejection, so he hurriedly explained. “There are a lot of mosquitos out here. I don’t want you to get sick.”

“Oh, what about you?”

“Phi put mosquito repellent already. But there was only one packet left, so none for Ran.” The man said, his tongue was almost tangled, and almost sighed in relief when Ran nodded.

“Then it’s fine. But please don’t go out for long. Ran is lonely, doesn’t want to be alone.” The voice of the younger boy was so annoyed yet cute. But now the stuff inside his pants was bursting up and it’s about to explode. But he could only smile.

“Okay,” He noted and quickly opened the door and walked out. At first, the man intended to sit in the chair and enjoy the view until his mood calmed down. But the frustration that ran all over his body and the tightness of the cobra king inside his pants that was standing hard, he could not sit. So, he moved to stand on the railing of the balcony. Let the cold wind from the sea below and hit his body, hoping to ease his discomfort.

The atmosphere was quiet with the night view, although it was not as dark as on the island, if the sound of cicada rattling in the wind made his mind somewhat calm, the body that used to be packed with heat gradually loosened until it felt lighter. He sighed in relief before gazing at the twinkling lights of the fishing boats lining the horizon. While recalling his relationship with Ran

No, he didn’t doubt his feelings for his lover. He gave his whole heart to Ran. The constant concern of the man was fear. Ran might be human now, but how long could it be like this? Until the sacredness of the talisman expired or forever?

The man exhaled a long breath while looking at the lovely person lying on his stomach, enjoying the TV program. So cute that he could look at it all day and night without being bored. He wanted to be together like this until they get old. The man thought as he breathed in his lungs and released lightly before facing the sea. If Ran’s life clock ended, his heart pounding with thought hands tightly clenched the balcony railing until the veins bulged up.

He will die with him.

The young man bit his own mouth with determination. A lovely voice coming from behind startled him.

“What are you doing?” The soft body of the little man squeezed beside him. The man looked down and saw huge eyes staring straight at him with suspicion.

“None. Why are you asking?”

“Ran saw you trembling,” replied the young man, stretching his hand up and touching the forehead of Phat.

Path grasped his lover’s hand. The young man looked like a child who was worried about an adult. So cute until the older man bent down to kiss him

“I am fine.” He hurriedly told the younger man to feel at ease. But the other party did not believe him

“Then why were you trembling?” Ran interrogated with more concern than being curious. The man got awkward, thinking of a good excuse.

“Phu … Phi was in pain” He didn’t know what excuse to give him. So, he brought up an old story where he said he wanted to shave himself off, Ran smiled.

“Ran was worried about what you're doing,” Ran said, and he urged him to walk back inside. “Phi can use the bathroom. Ran will not secretly peek." 

The boy pushed Phat all the way to the bathroom door and spun back into the bed to continue watching TV. Phat pretended to relieve himself. When he returned to bed, he found that the younger man had fallen asleep.

“Hmmm Nong,” The man said with affection, before moving his nong to lie on the pillow and pulling up a blanket to cover him. Turning off the TV and turning off all the lights in the room and then laid down on the bed, head at the end of the pillow. He hugged him loosely and kissed his round head softly and whispered. “Good night, my love”

The young man was sound asleep so he didn’t hear the sweet words of his Phi. Phat didn’t pay too much attention and kissed Ran again, tightened his arms a little before closing his eyes to sleep.

Ran might have a childlike character. But he knew that driving long distances was tiring. From the original plan on where they wanted to spend the holidays to rest, the young man then asked to go to a nearby area where both of them enjoyed walking around a small town. Had fun taking photos with 3D pictures, finished with a slide in a famous water park. The night of the last day of vacation ended with everything Ran promised.

The next day they checked out from the hotel early to spend their last vacation days in bed after many days of hard work. Back to the condo, Phat and his lover helped each other put the fresh seafood into the freezer. Took the bags out, took the clothes to the laundry, and had lunch. The two then spent the rest of the afternoon together in bed.

They slept through the night. When he woke up, he ordered pizza to eat and continued to lay down. The man was so exhausted from the continued activities from the previous days of their vacation, on top of their bedroom activity during their last night.

The infuriating message from Lalin came at 9 PM. ‘Are you asleep yet?’

His eyebrows furrowed but not angry. Hoping that the person would give him good news regarding his job interview.

‘Nope’

‘Are you going to sleep or you will eat?’

Lalin was teasing him.

‘Stop that. Whatever comes.’

‘I have a job offer. A customer asks nong Ran to endorse their shower cream. He will come later to talk more about it.'

The man immediately felt annoyed. He already said that Ran was not an option for any job and yet they still kept accepting works for him.

‘Don’t they already have their own model?’

‘I don’t know. The customer specifically wanted Ran. I have already shown him our other models but he seems not interested. I actually don’t want Ran for this job either, but the boss has already accepted it. I can’t really disagree” Lalin typed a long message before ending it with a sighing duck sticker. It made the man wondered.

‘Why?’

‘I know a little bit about its company. Let’s talk in detail tomorrow. Bring nong Ran with you.’

The girl typed ‘…’ as if she stopped breathing, followed by a sly smiley duck face sticker before typing the next message.

‘Sleep now. I’m not joking anymore. I don’t want your beautiful hips to be bruised.'

Lalin sent three sly duckling stickers and snoring ducks to end the conversation. He put the phone away and turned to look at Ran who was sleeping, the big pillow next to him. So cute. It was then that he recalled Lalin’s message. For her, even if meeting an overbearing customer, she hardly complained and she’s very tenacious to get the other party to agree with her all the time. He did not want Ran to accept this work. Perhaps this customer was behaving inappropriately, which he didn’t want to think about.

The man pushed his lover’s hair with jealousy. Worried, but it’s useless now, and the boss had already accepted the job. Tonight, he must remain calm. If that guy was as bad as Lalin said, He would ask Ran to refuse the job. Even if he got irate or got his salary cut, he didn’t care.

With this in mind, he pulled his lover closer to his body.

He would absolutely not allow Ran to fall prey to Tigers, Bulls, and Rhinos.
